Started this lighting study last night to practice using @maxulichney.bsky.social ‘s oil brushes and I may end up rendering this one out more.

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either: a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out

Here we go! See you guys at Lightbox soon!

I have so many recs All the @maxulichney.bsky.social sets are probably the best of the best if you want to replicate traditional materials and techniques

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

SHAW!!

CODE 3 is available TODAY on Apple/Amazon/Fandango at Home or wherever you rent or buy your movies. I can’t tell you what to do but in your heart you know what’s right. #code3movie

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Cancelled Disney+ and Hulu. Been a busy year, selling my Tesla, boycotting Amazon, Target, Twitter and more. Adapting hasn't been as hard as I expected and it's led to supporting more local businesses as well.

This Week's Onion Magazine:

This guy not only took credit from my fellow Lorcana colleagues but also claimed to be an official Disney artist to inflate sales. In reality he has been black listed from the company for years after sketchy behavior. youtu.be/EqmvqrdHaSc?...

I have no interest in any TCG but I want this card.

Didn’t care about lorcana until I saw this

Powerline World’s Greatest Rock Star My first Enchanted card is in Lorcana’s Fabled! What an honor to paint the one and only Powerline with a killer costume design by @nicholaskole.bsky.social. Fabled is out 8/29 at your local hobby store! AD Liz Richards

Max Goof Chart Topper For Lorcana Fabled, I got to paint a Legendary card of my namesake Max Goof from A Goofy Movie with an amazing costume design from @nicholaskole.bsky.social. Fabled is out 8/29 at your local hobby store! AD Liz Richards

Ursula Voice Stealer Lorcana Fabled has some of my best cards yet. Ursula is such an incredible design and it was a blast to try to capture her theatrical attitude mid-song. I’m still pleased with the magic threading between her fingers. Fabled is out 8/29 at your local hobby store! AD João Moura

Namaari Single-Minded Rival From Lorcana Reign of Jafar. AD Renee Chio

The Sultan Royal Apparition I have several cards in Lorcana’s Reign of Jafar set. I’ve always found The Sultan to be one of the great character designs of this Disney era and he was a delight to create for this set. And I got really into painting all the sandy magic. AD Mario Manzanares

I often find myself saying "what a time to be alive" but friends, today, defector.com/it-took-many...

OPEN COMMISSIONS This is sort of embarrassing to do on a network where I have one hundred followers, but I've gotten some questions about it over here. Re—uh—skeets?? appreciated...

He's here! I was so excited to get this assignment. POWERLINE is in Lorcana! And it was a total thrill to get to work with the excellent costume designed by @nicholaskole.bsky.social

HECK YEAH! big official reveal day- I got to team up with the always incredible @maxulichney.bsky.social to FINALLY bring powerline to Lorcana. Actual dream come true

My homeowner's journey has finally led to me buying a chainsaw. Did Leatherface start by dealing with some invasive plants? Is this a slippery slope I should be worried about?

my has wife asked me to stop my running Werner Herzog commentary during our Donkey Kong Bananza playthru

If I hear you're using vizcom for your concept art, I will find you and personally push you into a locker

if you are a concept artist currently using Vizcom and believing that it's "just a tool", all you are doing is making absolutely certain you will shortly cease to be a concept artist

If you haven’t already, now is a great time to start not supporting Gavin Newsome for president

Whelp, looks like I’m deleting my WeTransfer account and you should too, unless you’d like to give up your IP rights to these shitheels to train their LLM

I am incredibly proud to share with all of you the taser for my latest film; The Quintas Ghost! It was made by an army of artists and mavericks. More news coming soon! www.thequintasghost.com

We're an indie publisher who actively avoids Amazon; instead we work directly with bookstores and distribute through comics distros only. During this anti-prime week, take a look at our Kickstarter campaign that needs a little extra love to get funded by the end of the weekend!

Oh hi #PortfolioDay! I design animated characters for animation and illustrate illustrations. I'm also your local MaxPacks Procreate brush dealer.
